Her character Hit Girl may be the most powerful character in the Kick Ass universe, but when it comes to fashion sense, Chloë Moretz has got her comic book alter ego beat every time.

Appearing on the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show, the 16-year old actress looked effortlessly cool in a leather mini skirt, black blouse and a green patterned blazer from Jonathan Saunders Resort 2014 collection.

Adding a youthful flair with a cross-body Chanel bag, Chloë was taking no prisoners in the style stakes.

Chloë reprises the role made famous by Sissy Spacek in Brian De Palma's
1976 adaption of Stephen King's first bestselling novel about a timid
high school girl who develops telekinetic powers as she goes through puberty.

At the helm of this modern day reinterpretation is Kimberley Pierce, who garnered significant recognition with her directorial debut Boys Don't Cry in 1999, starring Hilary Swank in her Oscar-winning turn as transgender school kid who is raped and murdered by her male friends after they discover she is not anatomically male.

What with the high school outcast
theme shared in both Boys Don't Cry and Carrie, Pierce was no doubt a
perfect fit for the horror remake, but before she signed onto the role
she made sure to get De Palma's blessing.

The
next job was to find her female lead, but rather than do the typical
Hollywood thing of casting a twenty-something in the role of a teen
(Sissy Spacek was 26 when she played Carrie), the director had her
sights set on someone who was actually going through the changing
experience of a high school girl.

has proven herself in the horror genre, especially remakes, with her
turn in The Amityville Horror, and as the bloodsucking best friend in
Let Me In in.

However, Moretz has admitted she hasn't actually watched the original Brian De Palma movie.

During the shoot, Chloë told Empire magazine: 'I deliberately haven't watched the original movie. I'm sure what Sissy
Spacek and Brian De Palma did was phenomenal, but I didn't want to end
up copying any performances.

'I wanted to make my Carrie come to life and
not steal someone else's Carrie.'

Carrie is out in the U.S. on October 18th and in the UK on November 29th.
